Clearly we’ve been watching the goings on over at Dragon Lady’s with great interest. On Monday she had workmen there fitting a new double glazed front door. It is very pretty, one of those with stained glass window panels with flowers on.
Scarlett was observing the whole thing and speculating that that was why she didn’t let MBM back in the house, because she wanted a new pretty front door and he didn’t. I explained that whilst that was certainly not beyond the realms of possibility it was unlikely to be the whole story.
Then she gasped, and speechless for a moment just pointed in shock over towards Dragon Lady’s house.
”Mumma, she’s got a MAN in there!’
Darling, that’s just the man who is fixing the new door on for her
“aha so that’s why she wouldn’t let him come in then. She has fallen in love with that other man and wante him to live there instead!”
When I’d finished falling about laughing I did try and explain to her that the idea of DL falling in love with the barely out of his teens slightly yobbish looking double glazed door installer (which isn’t to say appearances can’t be deceptive and he may have the soul of a poet and the maturity of a man seven times his age for all I know ;)) was even less likely than the whole police being called because DL wouldn’t let MBM in because they’d disagreed on front door design choices. But she’s having fun with the idea, so I’m loathe to crush her wild speculations too much – after all there is a market for them in soap plot line writing of the future :lol:.
